This is a write-up of display scaling and the new tools developed that allow you to correct for the native display scale factor in Godot — something you can't really do without native calls on macOS and Windows.

All very good advice that I feel deeply. I think I fell into the honey trap some time ago, but I've made peace with that — the tools I'm making will probably do more good than any game I could finish making, at least for now. Joke

I really like this implementation, but it's probably worth mentioning here that RunUO and other tools like it are solving the problem at a layer of abstraction beneath what I was introducing here. The serialization system I am providin

This is a good point. I don't think anyone wakes up wanting to make a new serializer. At this point, I was already pretty deep into making and releasing tools for my game projects so doing this didn't seem like such a stretch (alt

That's essentially what this system does — it identifies the models and their properties that you've marked as serializable at build-time using source generation, and then allows you to provide a type resolver and converter to Sys

Hi friends, I worked really hard on trying to make serialization and complex save/load easier to implement for C# Godot games (a lot of it is just pure C# and works for other stuff, too). This serialization effort ended up resulting in

It’s used with Flutter, Google’s app development framework. I really enjoy Dart as a language, but it is fairly young and missing a few conveniences (such as data classes). It also can’t compile to dynamic libraries, only executables. Despi

Wow, that’s really exciting. I’m looking forward to having the option to run linux. I’ve been eyeing elementaryOS for years, but it will be hard to leave some macOS-only apps behind.

I first started learning C# and XNA before college to make a game for my Zune HD. That was my first exposure to OOP. Ah, those were the days...

If you don't mind me tooting my own horn too much, I have some docs about project setup in the readme for a test framework I made for C# Godot games. It has some notes about mac-specific things, since that's my primary machine. h

I use it on macOS and Windows, and it is lovely! I even have Steamworks.NET integrations working on both platforms with it. It can be a bit tricky to setup the `.csproj` correctly to resolve native dependencies, but not anything impossible.

That's a good point, I can edit that for clarity in the article (especially since I mentioned Godot's Patreon support later in the article). I was assuming that the Patreon support didn't amount to full time support for all t
